A Journal of Drawing - People: Bobbin’ Olive Productions

Being able to draw the widely varied and interesting human figure is a basic goal for artists. As kids, we all drew with wild abandon and never gave a thought to what anyone else would say, we just did it for fun. However, at a certain point, we become so critical of our efforts that when we couldn't replicate reality, we moved on to other interests. Learning to silence our inner critic is a big part of moving forward with art.In this 100-page journal you will find prompts and diagrams throughout to ease you into it and/or help with visualizing the lessons. Drawing is a great way to respond to what goes on around you and with practice anyone can become skilled in drawing. This book is intended to help you gain expertise and, in turn, build confidence. Doing stick figures is still one of the easiest ways to approach drawing people.The lessons and activities are varied and fun with one goal - to help you enjoy doing art. If you've felt a niggling desire to pick up a pencil and draw, the time has arrived. Depriving yourself from a lack of guidance or fear of failing is just sad.
